Tips for Training Your Canine :

Puppies learn at various speeds.

Some dog breeds tend to be thought to be very easy to train and respond quickly, while

others require a lot more work and firm handling. How fast your dog will learn will be Page 6

determined by which teaching technique you might be utilizing, how constant you are

and the breed of dog. It will additionally depend on what you are endeavoring to teach.

There is absolutely no age at which a pet should stop learning. Neither should you cease

dog training simply because he has mastered all his primary commands or has

completed taking conventional classes. You must keep training and teaching your pet

dog his entire life. The pointers listed are to help you to teach your pet to learn anything

which you choose to teach and at any age.

Always utilize the same command. Many dog owners inadvertently confuse their pets. A

perfect example is demanding the puppy to get into the down position. If you'd like this

to mean that the dog lays on the carpet with his belly flat then use the 'down' command.

On the other hand, you can't then utilize the expression 'down' to tell your dog to stop

jumping or to take his feet off the countertop unless you wish him to get into that

position. If that's what you are requesting great, but many owners use the term 'down'

at different times. If you'd like your dog to quit jumping use a different command word,

try the word 'off' or 'floor' as an alternative. Commands words can only have a single

meaning.

Always speak in a very clear voice. Whenever issuing a command it is exactly that a

command. You are not requesting, you are telling your dog what to do. You do not need

to employ an angry voice, just a very clear strong tone.

Keep training sessions short. Puppies tend to be easily distracted and bored especially

young dogs. You will get far better results from three, five to ten minute practice

sessions than 1 lengthy twenty minute training session.

Do not get angry or discouraged. If both you or the dog are having a difficult time with a

certain command, stop and try again during the next session. Training takes time and

patience but you need to make sure that it is a good positive experience.

It is best to begin training any brand new command in a tranquil location. For many new

commands you should have the pups complete focus. You can best achieve this by

removing as many temptations as you possibly can from the training vicinity. Once the

dog has a basic knowledge of the command you can test utilizing it in more demanding

places.

You must help to make training enjoyable. Dogs respond far better when you have a

relaxed, positive frame of mind. Always conclude teaching sessions on a optimistic note,

either having a exciting game or by performing several commands that your pet knows

well.
